The Vagabonds' Player Reacted Violently After Probation Denied
As reported by KSNV:
A Las Vegas judge was attacked during a sentencing hearing on Wednesday -- and the incident was captured on video.
Deobra Redden swore at Judge Mary Kay Holthus as she handed down the sentence, then jumped over the bench and lunged at her.
Redden was scheduled to be sentenced for a charge of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. Before the attack, a prosecutor said Redden had a history of violent crimes and asked for a prison term. Past charges include home invasion, domestic violence and battery on a protected person.
Speaking on his own behalf, Redden said he was "in a better place in my mind," had a better support system and had a new job.
"I feel like I shouldn't be sent to prison, but if it's appropriate for you, then you gotta do what you gotta do," he said.
